Reflections on Emerging Technologies in Nanomedicine

Nanomedicine – The role of newer drug delivery technologies in cancer

Nanotechnology has slowly but steadily revolutionized the diagnosis, imaging and treatment of cancer. Detecting cancer at earliest stages, locating the tumor at different areas in the body and specific delivery of the drugs to malignant cells including surgically inaccessible tumors are the core areas of medical and pharmaceutical research across the world. In this endeavour, Nanodevices have e...

Designing Oversight for Nanomedicine Research in Human Subjects: Systematic Analysis of Exceptional Oversight for Emerging Technologies.

The basic procedures and rules for oversight of U.S. human subjects research have been in place since 1981. Certain types of human subjects research, however, have provoked creation of additional mechanisms and rules beyond the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) Common Rule and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) equivalent. Now another emerging domain of human subjects research-nanome...

On Emerging Biometric Technologies

Many body parts, personal characteristics and imaging methods have been suggested and used for biometrics systems: fingers, hands, feet, faces, eyes, ears, teeth, veins, voices, signatures, typing styles and gaits. Literature contains a wide range of techniques occupying a large number of implemented algorithms regarding biometrics. In this paper we will introduce the latest improvements on bio...
